The Soap Opera Star

Plotful, Character-Oriented, Sexual

You're the Soap Opera Star, the center of a massive web of characters -- and more importantly, character relationships. You roleplay mainly for character dynamics, and romantic character dynamics at that: if you didn't start playing with a ship in mind, you're definitely shipping now that you're playing. But it's not random relationships that appeal to you. You like your plots! It's just that most or all of them are personal in nature and revolve around either getting characters together or developing relationships once they've formed. But if given a plot like that, you're a determined, reliable RP partner. However, of all roleplayers, you're likely to be the ones most emotionally attached to your character and to fall in RP-love with the players of your ships.

Moved into new house. The house is nice but the neighborhood and surrounding areas suck balls in comparison to our last house. I want to move back already. Plus I hate hardwood AUUGGHHH.

So as some of you may know, our house was foreclosed because the homeowner couldn't pay the mortgage. Yeah, we pay rent in a timely manner and homeowner repays us by saying we gotta ship out. How's that for fair.

Seriously, our last house wasn't a dream house or anything, but the neighborhood was SO NICE. The neighbors across from us were great, they'd always wave when they saw us. And there were tons of kids around; they'd walk over to the nearby park and play around there. This neighborhood just scares me. We're pretty much a street away from the auto district of the city. Parking was way easy in the older neighborhood too, even for our family, which has four cars. Parking at the new house sucks. Just DRIVING around where we live is a challenge. We used to live in a cul-de-sac, now the streets here are like half the size they should be.

I feel so cold and lonely right now.

I wish I could click my heels three times and everything would be all right again.

As much as it pains me to do this, and as much work as I went through, I won't be entering the OC contest at court-records.net this year. XD Finals and projects kicked my ass this month, so I was unable to make as many sprites as I wanted to do. I don't wanna rush things, submit something half-assed, and end up being unable to re-enter a cleaner, snazzier, MIND-BLOWING entry next year.

UNTIL NEXT TIME. Well, at least I'll have everything ready by next year. Hopefully I won't hate them by then. XD

So me and one of my co-workers went to see the Avenue Q tour last night.

Simply put, it was amazing, hilarious, and I'm just as impressed by how some of serious scenes were very well-acted, especially from the guy who played Princeton/Rod, aka Robert McClure. The woman who played Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut, Anika Larsen, had some very emotional and heartbreaking scenes as well.

Anyway, after the performance, the cast member that played Gary Coleman informed us that they were taking donations for a woman's organization, and if we donated at least $40, we'd be able to get a poster signed by all the cast members.

I wanted one. Really badly. But they were only accepted cash for the poster, and I didn't have enough. I asked one of the workers if there was an ATM machine in the building. He told me there wasn't one in the building, but there was one in the parking structure, orchestra-level and across a bridge. The cast members were the ones that were holding the donation buckets and the posters, so I asked my friend if she could ask one of them if they could wait for a little while I got cash for the poster and I RAN LIKE NO OTHER to the ATM machine.

"Maybe it's not me... maybe it's the machine..." I let the people behind me try.

They get their money.

WHAT???

I try a couple more times. Still the same thing. ...THIS TRANSACTION CANNOT BE COMPLETED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CALL YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.

"I DON'T HAVE TIME TO CALL!!!"

Finally, I gave up, called my friend back. "Bleeeehhh... the ATM wouldn't give me any money and I tried so many times. ;_;"

"Well, the cast members had to leave. But one of them said they got enough donations so they gave you a poster anyway."

"...ARE YOU SERIOUS."

So I got my pretty pretty poster. ♥ ♥ ♥ The woman who played Christmas Eve (aka Sala Iwamatsu) ended up being the sooper sooper nice individual. ♥ My friend said she expected me to make a donation sometime, like if I ever go see another show at that place.
